The BBFC writes: A slightly stronger moment occurs when a man is stabbed through the back by the chief villain’s spear. The detail of the impact is not shown, only the tip of the spear protruding from the man’s chest with a small amount of blood on it. The image is not dwelt upon and serves an important narrative purpose. The BBFC’s Guidelines at 12A’/’12 state Moderate violence is allowed but should not dwell on detail. There should be no emphasis on injuries or blood, but occasional gory moments may be permitted if justified by the context . However there are 2 versions available worldwide, one omits the sight of the spear protruding from a man’s chest as he is stabbed through his back. The cut version has the same running time but sees the man fall without the sight of the bloody protrusion. The cut version has been spotted in the German release and applies to Swiss and Austrian releases too.
